    their own biography

    the whole biography
    RYKER is a DJ and event producer deeply embedded in New York's underground queer nightlife scene. They have performed at Nowadays, Basement, and Club Space in Miami, and across parties including Fast Forward, Weeeirdos, Mizz Softee, Steamroom, La Noche, and Mala Junta. Off the decks, they contribute to the production teams behind some of the city's most vital underground events, including Zero Chill, FAW, and QNCC. That same practice extends into nightlife programming for fashion houses and brand activations across New York. Their sets move through house, techno, and prog trance, with a sound that is retrofuturistic and groove-driven, pulled through a '90s sensibility and delivered with wit.

    their own biography

    the whole biography
    Gee Dee is a Brooklyn-based DJ and producer rooted firmly in North America’s club scene. With longstanding residencies at New York institutions Good Room and Public Records, and as a 10-year veteran of Philadelphia’s iconic party Making Time, Gee Dee has been commanding dance floors for over a decade. Since his debut 12” EP in 2020, Gee Dee has delivered standout records on Superior Elevation, Planet Trip, and most recently, Klasse Wrecks. He has contributed tracks to compilations on Dream Chimney and Terra Magica, and turned in a remix for Rhode & Brown on Permanent Vacation — a track that was recently supported by Matisa on Pete Tong’s BBC Radio 1. In 2025, Gee Dee launched his own imprint, Free Universe, with debut collaborations alongside household names Kim Ann Foxman and Roman Flügel. An optimistic sense of freedom and a contagious lack of inhibition shine brightly throughout his work. A true purveyor of the “anything goes” ethos, Gee Dee seamlessly traverses decades, genres, tempos, and moods in both his DJ sets and productions — taking listeners on a sonic journey that’s equal parts euphoric, hypnotic, and psychedelic. His sound reflects the past while pushing fearlessly toward the future... always guaranteed to make you sweat. Gee Dee has performed at leading festivals such as Dekmantel, Making Time, and Love International, and graced club institutions like Basement, Flash, 1015 Folsom, Floyd, Nitsa, Zukunft, Platforma Wolff, and The Observatory. Whether in the U.S. or abroad, his sets leave a lasting impression. Outside of his solo work, he is one half of Infinity Machine — a live ambient act with Juan Maclean. Together, they’ve released three album-length cassettes on DFA Records, with a full-length double LP slated for 2026. A consistent contributor to the online mix sphere, Gee Dee’s encyclopedic musical knowledge comes to life in guest radio spots for Peggy Gou’s Gudu Mix Series, HÖR Radio, Heels & Souls on Worldwide FM, Bar Part Time, Friendly Potential, Tuff Shed on NTS Radio, and many more.
